Heel Pain in 10 year old DD

[ALMOSTMRSG]

For the last week DD, 10 years old, has suffered from pain in her left heel. She has been unable to put her foot down and is walking on her toes. I think it could be Severs (?) disease, where the foot bones have grown quickly but the achilles tendon hasn't. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how lessen the pain or how long it will last.

she could have a small calcaneum spur on her heeel which is really painful. Can she take ibuprofen syrup. buy a silicone gel sole . they are quite expensive but well worth it
